I'm not sure how to read my Tvfool results as far as my antenna selection/recomendations, here is my long and lat

Long -94.47296 Lat 33.95730

I'm trying to get a constant/good/dependable signals so I can watch KTAL, KTBS and KFXK amongst other stations all broadcasting in the same area. KTAL is the closest at 77.6 miles. Trying to understand gain db and the calculations that are involved are very confusing to me. It seems obvious that a directional antenna like a XG 91 pointed at 165% would work the best but a CM 4228 antenna has more mass to collect signals thus providing less interuptions and loss of signals ? my lil 11 element yagi style antenna and a 30 db booster has been a work horse sense April 2009 ....I am just trying to move up to the next level of quality. So should I go Direstional or have more mass to receive better tv signals in my area.
